... she is a German does not mean that she should side with Germany. The English king also was German; so was the Rumanian king. SATYENDRA: Maeterlinck says that the German blood is alive. SRI AUROBINDO (laughing): Yes. NIRODBARAN: I thought Maeterlinck was long dead. SATYENDRA: So did I. SRI AUROBINDO: Very much alive! SATYENDRA: This Hapsburg dynasty seems a very long one; that is ...
... Obviously this is very beautiful. It seems that here and there in her poems—she has written many—one can find reminiscences of Maeterlinck, for instance; so people have concluded that it was not she who had written them, for at the age of eight one doesn't read Maeterlinck, that it must have been someone else. But in fact there is no need at all to suppose a hoax, and the publisher indeed declares... say, without fear of sounding quite absurd, that if what she has written surprisingly resembles certain things in Maeterlinck or has the characteristics of his writings, even with certain almost identical turns of phrase, we could very well imagine that a mental formation of Maeterlinck has incarnated in this child and is using this young instrument to express itself. There are similar examples, ...
... sense. So the poet sings: My own clime I find in every clime, And I shall win it from everywhere. Thus, for example, the ideas and movements that have taken shape in Swinburne and Maeterlinck have induced some echoing waves in the works of Tagore here and there. Some of the things, specially characteristic of the West, were fused into his inspiration, became his own and formed part of ...
... slimmer. But if you fast and then continuously turn back to it and think of the food that you might have eaten or are likely to eat after the fasting, well, such fasting is worse than feasting. Maeterlinck, – you must have heard of him, the author of The Blue Bird-was a very corpulent person. As he had some sense of beauty he disliked corpulency, and in order to reduce it or keep it within bounds ...

So he had decided to fast once ...
... wonderfully revealing and prophetic poetic utterance as it is, lyric poetry of the future. As one enters comparatively the modern age one finds poets, including world-dramatists Ibsen, Shaw, Maeterlinck, O'Neill, generally involved in a predicament of the existentialist, grappling with the tragedy at the heart of things, with the age's Angst. The Dynasts of Hardy echoes the age's scepticism ...
... a straining after an intimate and subtle experience of the senses, vital sensations, emotions pushed beyond ordinary limits into a certain vivid and revealing abnormality, in the earlier work of Maeterlinck which is not so much an action of personalities as the drama of a childlike desire-soul uttering half inarticulate cries of love and longing, terror and distress and emotion, in the work of Mallarmé ...
... dramatic form of its creative impulse; a new spirit in poetry, even though primarily lyrical, is moved always to seize upon and do what it can with them,—as we see in the impulsion which has driven Maeterlinck, Yeats, Rabindranath to take hold of the dramatic form for self-expression as well as the lyrical in spite of their dominant subjectivity. We may perhaps think that this was not the proper form for ...
... shock to Dilip. Russell had spoken to him of his happy ideal married life. SRI AUROBINDO: I suppose it is like wanting to have vriddasya taruni barya2 though the wife may not be barya. You know Maeterlinck did the same. In his old age he took up a beautiful young girl who was not at all intellectual and he forsook the wife who had inspired all his earlier works. He brought the girl home. The wife didn't ...
... pooh-poohed the thing and turned down the invitation but also complained to the Government, saying such matters should be stopped because they were scientifically unorthodox. PURANI: Maurice Maeterlinck went to see the performance and said he had himself not believed before seeing it, but he tested the animal by giving his own figures and the animal answered correctly by signs. SRI AUROBINDO: ...
... feat. SRI AUROBINDO: Animals have vital intuition and they find things out by it, as man does by thought. You know about the horses being trained to do arithmetic in Germany. PURANI: Yes, Maeterlinck himself wrote about it. SRI AUROBINDO: Did he? PURANI: Yes. SRI AUROBINDO: It was not only one horse, but a group of them. Animals can be trained to do many things and they can be made familiar ...

... s. Thus the beginning of group-life goes right up to vital life, and creates even in insects by the working of an instinct a social organization more perfect even than that of man. That is what Maeterlinck wrote in his books on white-ants. He said that they exhibited a perfection in their social organization which man has not yet reached. The perfection there is automatic, instinctive; but the root ...
